Detailed Description

Subject: In this study, the effects of Low-Dye Taping and Kinesio Taping (KT) on pain and function will be investigated in individuals with plantar fasciitis. There are studies on both Low-Dye banding and KT in the literature and they are popular applications recently. However, to the best of our knowledge, when we look at the Turkish and English literature, no study has been found comparing these two therapeutic massages in terms of pain, functionality and performance.

Purpose: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a clinical picture characterized by degeneration of the plantar fascia resulting from repetitive microtrauma to the plantar fascia causing an inflammatory reaction. It is one of the most common causes of heel pain in adults. The plantar fascia has a fundamental role in the biomechanics of the foot, supporting the medial longitudinal arch (MLA), distributing forces and stresses of the foot during gait or other loading conditions. Disorders in the musculoskeletal and somatosensory system in patients with plantar fasciitis may cause pain and decrease in functional capacity. Therefore, its purpose is; This study was planned to show the effectiveness of taping methods applied in addition to ESWT in individuals presenting with heel pain. Thanks to the findings to be obtained from our study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with objective, evidence-based results in this field.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Low-Dye Taping In addition to the ESWT applied to the participants in the control group, Low-Dye Taping will be applied to the participants in this group once a week for 3 sessions.	Device: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT); Extracoporeal shock wave, 2000 shots/time, once a week for 3 weeks, shock wave freqency: 10Hz, energy level: 166 mJ/mm2,; Other: Low-Dye Taping; After ESWT application, Low-Dye Taping will be applied 3 times, once a week.
Experimental: Kinesio Taping In addition to the ESWT applied to the participants in the control group, Kinesio Taping will be applied to the participants in this group once a week for 3 sessions.	Device: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT); Extracoporeal shock wave, 2000 shots/time, once a week for 3 weeks, shock wave freqency: 10Hz, energy level: 166 mJ/mm2,; Other: Kinesio Taping; After ESWT application, Kinesio Taping will be applied 3 times, once a week.
Active Comparator: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) Participants in the control group will receive 3 sessions of ESWT once a week.	Device: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT); Extracoporeal shock wave, 2000 shots/time, once a week for 3 weeks, shock wave freqency: 10Hz, energy level: 166 mJ/mm2,

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Change from baseline in Pain at 3 Session [Changes in the VAS scores of the three groups before the treatment]

   A visual analog scale (VAS) numbered 0-10 will be used in the assessment of pain.

2. Change from baseline in Pain at 3 Session [Changes in the AOFAS scores of the three groups before the treatment]

   In functional evaluation, the scale developed by The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) will be used.
